The International Energy Agency (IEA) said energy efficiency is the quickest and least costly way of addressing energy security, environmental and economic challenges. Recent initiatives by the IEA, the EU, Morocco and China have sought to give a boost to energy efficiency.

There is so much cost-effective potential to reduce our energy consumption. But it is not happening, certainly not to the extent that will significantly improve the companys competitive position. The Investor Confidence Project Europe is designed to remove many of the complications .

The European Commission published its clean energy proposals late last year. There were no legislative proposals related to industry and little attention given to the sector overall. EFIG will be organising an event in October in Brussels on industrial energy efficiency. The Investor Confidence.

The International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) has published a report on energy efficiency networks. It is a concept that has been going from strength to strength in recent years. Many of the potential for cost-effective improvements remains untapped,.

The typical utility model of the past is dead. The rise of renewables is often mentioned as one of the key reasons. But to change the strategy of such a giant is nothing you can do within a few months, not even years.

The European Commission wants the market to work more effective. The Investor Confidence Project for Industry, District Energy and Street Lighting is a two-year project. It identifies the barriers to the long-term financing for energy efficiency and proposes policy and market solutions.

Two days at Europes premier energy conference, eurelectric 2017, reveal how utilities are rapidly adjusting — and looking forward- to a new era of opportunity. Three years ago, less than half of delegates of this conference saw an opportunity in decarbon.

Investor Confidence Project was brought to Europe to develop a system to give confidence to all active stakeholders. The Commission realises that it needs to get the energy efficiency market working more effectively in all sectors. There is a lack of standardisation in project.

European Commissions clean energy package combines legislative and non-legislative initiatives. The package calls for a more ambitious energy savings target for 2030 that has more teeth in it. Investor Confidence Project (ICP) was brought to Europe to develop.
